What about a "present working directory" for Nautlius then?

In Debian Sid Gnome(without evolution):

Right Click Image in Iceweasel
> select copy mage
Open Gimp
>file > paste as new image
Edit
>file > Send as email

THAT would not be bad actually.

But the Gimp send as email dialog is _VERY_ rudimentary (in other words: worthless).

So
> Save
Open email client
> New email
Attach > find file in file dialog.

That workflow is pretty bad if you ask me.

In my mind, the right workflow would be:

Open the mail application
Create a new message
Open the browser (Iceweasel or whatever)
position the mouse over the picture and drag it over the message window

Now, the right workflow for opening it with the GIMP:

Open the GIMP
drag the image over it

right click the image, then select "open with" and then "Image editor (the GIMP)".

You don't need to save the image to disk at all.
